AI policy development that actually works

Not a 50-page document nobody reads. Practical guidelines your teachers can use and your community can understand.

Why schools need AI governance now

A 2025 CoSN report found that 43% of K-12 districts still lack formal AI policies. The problem isn't that administrators don't care. It's that creating good policy is hard. Technology moves fast. Stakeholder opinions vary wildly. And nobody wants to get it wrong.

In conversations we've had with school leaders, the same concerns keep coming up. Teachers want guidance but don't want to be micromanaged. Parents range from "ban everything" to "my kid needs this for the future." Board members want to know the school isn't falling behind.

Good AI policy doesn't try to please everyone. It creates clarity. When students know what's expected, when teachers have clear guidelines, when parents understand the school's approach - that's when AI stops being a source of conflict and becomes a learning opportunity.

What you get

AI acceptable use policy

A clear document that defines when and how AI can be used by students and staff. Not generic boilerplate - customized for your school's values and academic approach.

Teacher guidance materials

Practical resources teachers can actually use. How to design AI-appropriate assignments. When to require disclosure. How to address suspected misuse without relying on unreliable detection tools.

Tool evaluation framework

A process for vetting AI tools before they're used with students. Privacy considerations. FERPA compliance. Data retention. Age-appropriateness. The questions you should be asking before saying yes.

Parent communication templates

How to explain your AI approach to parents without causing panic or dismissiveness. Messaging that builds trust while setting realistic expectations.

Board presentation materials

When trustees ask "What's our AI strategy?" you'll have a clear answer ready. We help you present the policy in terms that resonate with board members.

How we work

1

Discovery

We learn about your school's culture, values, and current approach to technology. What's already working? What's causing friction?

2

Stakeholder input

We talk to teachers, administrators, and (optionally) parent representatives. Good policy needs buy-in, and buy-in requires listening.

3

Draft development

We create initial policy documents and supporting materials tailored to your school's needs.

4

Review and refinement

We work with your team to refine the materials until they feel right for your community.

5

Implementation support

Optional teacher training, parent communication rollout, and ongoing policy updates as AI evolves.
